Chen Liucang in front of Li Zhongyi had been burned to pitch black and completely turned into ashes.

"Chen Liucang was founded in the third year of Li Jin Tongguang. After entering the dynasty, both Taizu and Sejong allocated special funds for repairs. Three years ago, Liu Enzuo, the head of the household department, played the imperial court, and Chen Liucang could resist the fire of the sky and withstand the flood that was not encountered in a hundred years......"

Li Cuixuan is not only talented, but also has a very good memory, which is one of the reasons why Li Zhongyi wanted to bring her here this time.

"Master, after a preliminary investigation, everyone in the warehouse said that the fire in the granary was only started after the lightning strike, and there were more than 30 places where the fire broke out at the same time. The head of the granary said that he had few soldiers and horses, and he had to guard against the hungry people making trouble, so he couldn't save him...... Li Yanqing heard that Li Zhongyi had arrived, so he hurriedly ran over and reported the basic situation in detail.

Li Zhongyi pursed his lips, dozens of places caught fire at the same time, and said that he was struck by lightning, is this to treat him as a fool?

"Go and call the person in charge of the granary, and I have something to ask him personally." Since Li Zhongyi is here, it is impossible to take an empty road, and there must be some gains.

Soon, Wailang, the warehouse clerk who was tied up by five flowers, was dragged to Li Zhongyi's feet.

"As long as you tell the truth, Lone will leave you with a whole corpse. If you want to continue lying, uh-huh, Li Yanqing, tell me, what should I do? Li Zhongyi didn't look at the warehouse Langzhong who was kneeling on the ground at all, turned his head and asked Li Yanqing directly.

Li Yanqing said seriously: "Master, you hate someone lying in front of you the most. If anyone dares to do this, they must be pulled out and fed to the dogs. With that, he turned his head to point to the group behind him.

Only then did Li Zhongyi notice that in the team behind Li Yanqing, there were really a row of more than a dozen hounds, and the hounds were obviously well-trained, just panting for breath, and there was no barking.

"Do you understand? If you continue to lie, then enjoy the taste of dog duel, right? Li Zhongyi was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he directly made a big move.

The warehouse clerk Wailang obviously didn't believe Li Zhongyi's nonsense, and he said stiffly: "King, it's really been struck by thunder!" ”

Li Zhongyi waved his hand and said lightly: "Very good, great, since this is the case, then drag it down and feed the dog." ”

"Whoa." Li Yanqing listened to Li Zhongyi's instructions, and he was inexplicably interested, and his bloodthirsty mood soared instantly!

Li Cuixuan echoed Li Yanqing's voice, mixed with an inexplicable trilling of excitement, she was obviously dressed very warmly, but she still couldn't help but shiver.

The man raised a vicious dog, a very vicious one, oh no, there is an even more fierce mad dog, and he is actually the man's protégé, Zuo Ziguang, nicknamed Rentu!

Wailang, the warehouse clerk, never dreamed that Li Zhongyi was actually playing for real, and he was so frightened that his soul was not possessed. As soon as the warehouse clerk Wailang wanted to open his mouth and shout for mercy, he was gagged by Li Yanqing's people with a rag, and dragged out of the crowd.

"Wangwang Wang......" did not take much time, accompanied by the terrible barking of dogs, and the screams of the warehouse clerk Wailang were higher and higher, and the screams became more and more miserable.

For a while, all the people kneeling on the ground were so frightened that their faces were colorless and trembling!

"You...... Yes, it's you, get over here......" Li Zhongyi casually pointed to a green-robed petty official and beckoned him to climb to his feet.

"Say, tell Lone what you know, and Lone will reward a whole corpse." Li Zhongyi was very domineering and didn't say that he would not die, but just promised to leave the whole corpse.

In fact, as long as you are an official, everyone understands in your heart that sometimes, death is not terrible, but what is terrible is not to die!

"The king, the official name is Sima Yi, he is a person from the river, and he is currently the head of the Chen Liucang warehouse under the household department. The lower officials and Liu Qiang, the staff member in charge of the warehouse, have always been at odds, so they have always been set up by him, and many affairs in the warehouse are not allowed to be interrogated by the lower officials. If the king doesn't believe it, he can just ask someone to ask. ”

Li Zhongyi carefully looked at Sima Yi's face, except for the name similar to Sima Yi's rebel, he didn't see any flaws.

With Li Zhongyi's skill of reading people, even if he didn't ask anyone, he roughly believed Sima Yi's words by five points.

The reason is actually very simple, Li Zhongyi will definitely find someone to interrogate, as long as Sima Yi is not really stupid, he will never dare to say the kind of lie that can be exposed in person.

Although Sima Yi's words have a certain degree of credibility, Li Zhongyi did not easily spare his thoughts. The logic is actually not complicated, the fortress is always breached from the inside, since Sima Yi is the main person in charge of the warehouse, even if he has been elevated, after all, he stays in the granary every day, and he will definitely know more inside information than outsiders about what the warehouse clerk Wailang did, and even has a lot of criminal evidence, but he just doesn't dare to cite it.

With such a large granary, dozens of places are on fire at the same time, and it is obviously impossible to mix one or two people.

It must be a nest case of the rats guarding and stealing and colluding with each other!

"Don't hide it from the king, the lower officials want to raise Liu Qiang several times, but it's a pity that Liu Qiang's Fang Shi is the protégé of the current Prime Minister Wei Renpu. The subordinate is timid, afraid of implicating his family, and has not dared to speak out, which is indeed guilty......"

Sima Yi was clearly very scared, and it was strange that he spoke very methodically, and told the ins and outs of the arson case in the entire warehouse clearly.

Li Zhongyi understood as soon as he heard that the cause of arson was actually not complicated. Liu Qiang, a warehouse clerk, secretly took out the high-quality grain stored in the treasury and sold it to grain merchants, and bought the same amount of moldy rice from outside, mixed it with sand and stones, and filled it into the treasury with shoddy quality, earning a lot of oil and water.

However, people are not as good as heaven, and the new household department Shangshu issued an order to check the warehouse, and Sima Yi saw that the paper could no longer contain the fire, so he simply blackened his heart, and simply took advantage of the thunderbolt to create a false appearance of natural disasters, so as to get through the test in confusion.

Sima Yi sighed and said: "The lower official is not angry with Liu Qiang's monopoly on power, and he has also collected a lot of evidence in private, and he hid it in the home of a fellow villager and close friend, and the lower official can lead someone to get it." ”

Li Zhongyi suddenly smiled and said lightly: "I'm afraid you forgot to say it, what major handle did you have that fell into Liu Qiang's hands?" ”

Sima Yi, who was originally pretending to be calm, suddenly changed his face in fright, and blurted out: "How do you know, my lord? ”

"Haha, it's more unbearable to block your financial path than to kill your parents. You actually endured it for so long, but you didn't dare to stumble on Liu Qiang secretly, in addition to Liu Qiang's hard backer, you yourself must have fallen into the handle, the waist is not hard, and you are weak to speak, you are not wrong, right? The more angry Li Zhongyi was, the more he loved to laugh, and the more angry he was, the brighter his smile became.

Li Yanqing didn't dare to look at Li Zhongyi's smile, he knew better than anyone that this was definitely the prelude to the storm.
